Saturday treat time, Outlouders. A brand new episode of Parenting Out Loud just landed, and we’re dropping it here for you to enjoy too.

In this episode, Jessie Stephens and Amelia Lester dive into:

💬 Co-parenting: Should parents—be they current partners or exes—need to hype each other up a bit more?
🧠 The Ellen Pompeo quote that made them rethink whether mums can ever give 100% at work
💄 And whether letting kids play with makeup is anti-feminist—or just innocent fun

Plus, in this week’s reccos:
📚 Amelia shares the magazine (yes, an actual paper one) that has her kids totally hooked.
🧠 Jessie’s found a smart way to take the edge off toddler tantrums.

Whatever you're doing this weekend, enjoy the conversation.
